The Ho Chi Minh Trail was a network of roads built from North Vietnam
to South Vietnam through the neighboring countries of Laos and
Cambodia, to provide logistical support to the Vietcong and the North
Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War. It was a combination
of truck routes and paths for foot and bicycle traffic. The trail was
actually a 16,000-kilometer (9,940-mile) web of tracks, roads and
waterways
